    You're absolutely right about that one. Valdez's performance was so masterful that it's almost like the cherry on top to refer to the ko punch. That shot was, to use an overused phrase, "AWESOME"....and it was even more so because it was on Bennie Briscoe, who was indestructable up to that point.

    I know people will scoff because of the lack of technique involved in the punch, or the lack of quality of the puncher, but for sheer power of impact it has to be Hasim Rahman's KO of Lennox Lewis.

    Have another look people:

    It's just a big heavy guy having a huge swing and connecting with Lennox's chin- look how hard Lewis hits the deck! No-one in history could've stood up to that one.

    Only time he was ever stopped or even decked as far as I know.

    **** the Quarry knockout, the Foster one was equally as brutal against a far more durable fighter.

    Didn't Foster also say he went to Madison Square that night with like $2 in his pocket and left as the champ?

    When Gene Fullmer fought Carmen Basilio, in the final round Fullmer went backwards against the ropes. Suckered Carmen in... and threw this devastating shot that made Carmen's head rocket backwards and sideways all at once.

    Carmen didn't go down, but he damn near kid and that alone should tell you how hard a shot it was.

    The ref stopped the fight shortly afterwards.

    Carmen is one of the toughest men to ever walk this earth. So is Gene. At the hall of fame weekend I saw both (got Carmen's autograph) and they still look like tough guys. Carmen even smacked the guy right next to me.:lol:
